Tag Archives: Brad Watson

Complications in our schedules this week left us with little choice but to record our show right before the Blackhawks-Kings Game 4 in LA.

Were our Game 4 predictions on the money or did we come out the other side looking like dopes? I’ll let you decide.

Also on this edition of PuckChatter~Radio, we discuss Niklas Hjalmarsson, Bryan Bickell, the Duncan Keith suspension, why Brad Watson is officiating the Conference Finals after the controversial disallowed goal in Game 3 of the Red Wings series, and a discussion of that play.

I also have a personal dedication, a request, some gossip of our recent trip to Las Vegas, the atrocious NBC second-team NHL broadcast team and much more.

–Special Thanks to Molson Canadian, the Official Imported Beer of the NHL..

As you enjoy this NHL playoff season, and the Chicago Blackhawks bid to lift Lord Stanley’s chalice for the second time in four seasons, make sure to pick up some cold, refreshing Molson Canadian at your local grocer or adult beverage outlet.

Molson Canadian recognizes that every decision a coach makes in the Playoffs can mean the difference between skating to glory and skating into the off season.

When you pick up Molson Canadian bottles now in the U.S., you can participate in The Call of the Cup series, which allows hockey fans to play the role of the coach and make the tough calls from their smart phones, or just debate the questions and scenarios on the back of the bottle labels between friends.

Which special teams unit is more important in the playoffs? Make trades or stand pat at the trade deadline? Be a part and help a team win its first Stanley Cup or help a team break a long championship drought? Answer these questions and debate more scenarios in The Call of the Cup series from Molson Canadian beer.

“I’m mad…and that’s a fact
I found out…animals don’t help
Animals think…they’re pretty smart
Shit on the ground…see in the dark

They wander around like a crazy dog
Make a mistake in the parking lot
Always bumping into things
Always let you down down down down” – David Byrne

By Rich Lindbloom

First off, I want to unequivocally state that I don’t think Brad Watson makes “mistakes in the parking lot.” (On the ice, of course, is an entirely different matter.) David Byrne of the Talking Head’s wrote a peculiar song called Animals awhile back. Brad Watson’s shady interference call on Andrew Shaw, brought back memories of the song.
